Topics covered topics such as plant health monitoring, pest management, spray drone insecticide application, licensing guidelines, Federal Aviation Administration regulations, and training programs offered by the AgCenter. During outdoor flight demonstrations, AgCenter precision agriculture experts Randy Price and Tri Setiyono operated two types of aircraft.
